Mr. Ben Chapman: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans he has to encourage further
strengthening of professional exchanges between the UK and China. [110404]
Mr. Battle: We attach importance to strengthening professional exchanges with China. The British Council has given particular
support to this work, notably in the educational, legal and construction sectors, through collaboration projects, seminars and other
training schemes, with the assistance of professional institutions.
We also support the UK/China Forum, a high-level non-governmental body, the first meeting of which was held in October 1999, and
whose work in the fields of industry, finance, environment, science and technology, law, education, culture and the media, should
also strengthen professional exchanges in these areas.

Mr. Ben Chapman: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans he has to promote the development of
exchanges between police forces in China and the UK in the field of protecting the victims of crime. [110910]
Mr. Battle: We encourage increased links with the Chinese police. UK police forces and their Chinese equivalents have cooperated
successfully on a number of cases. The UK has provided training for senior Chinese police officers; the Chinese have indicated that
such training is highly valued. Further exchanges are planned both with the police and the National Narcotics Control Commission. We
believe that these exchanges will expose the Chinese to best practice and further develop respect for civil rights and the rule of
law in China.

Mr. Ben Chapman: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans he has to encourage further academic
exchanges with China. [100637]
Mr. Battle: Academic and educational exchanges are an important part of our deepening relationship with China. A number of steps are
being taken to encourage further academic links with China. These include:
(a) As part of the Prime Minister's initiative we are planning to increase the number of Chinese students in this country from 5,000
to 20,000.
(b) The British Council's Academic Links with China Scheme (funded by DFID) supports 33 active academic links. A recent visit to
China of senior UK academics organised by the British Council has resulted in agreement with the Chinese Ministry of Education to
establish a new framework for institutional collaboration.
(c) The Chevening Scholarship Scheme will be expanded and used to support some 120 awards in China.
(d) There are a number of projects devoted to professional development and training in China. These include: the BOND scheme (funded
by BTI) which expects to make 25 industrial placements from China each year, the Financial Sector Training Scheme (funded by DFID)
which aims to train 225 financial professionals in the UK over four years.
The British Council will hold a number of high profile education events in China in 2000 including a British education festival in
Beijing and Shanghai in February that will involve over 90 British institutions. Follow up to the Council's Lifelong Learning
festival held in November this year in China will focus on academic co-operation and exchanges particularly for distance and
vocational learning.
